Ernest Borgnine (1917-2012)
One of Hollywood’s finest has passed away.
Ernest Borgnine started his career back in
the magnificent 50’s, during a time the likes
of Kirk Douglas & Burt Lancaster were
dazzling our screens. Ernest got his break
playing “Fatso” in the 1953 classic
From Here to Eternity & never looked back.
Ernest Borgnine went on to star in such movies
as Bad Day at Black Rock, The Vikings,
The Wild Bunch and one of my personal
favorites Emperor of the North opposite
another great character actor Lee Marvin.
And gave a superb performance in the John
Carpenter classic Escape from New York
alongside Kurt Russell – he played the Cabbie!
He won an Academy Award for his role
in the 1955 drama Marty
